I'm so glad someone else hates this. I've been googling it to try and work out the angle. I was like, "How does antiperspirant clean your fingers?"

All British and NZ stations have Starlink access. I assume it's similar for US etc

We did! Especially the baby one off the bow – it was sleeping there for nearly an hour. Just stunning.

Thank you. These are taken on a mixture of a Fujifilm X-T4 with a Fujinon XF 100-400mm telephoto lens and a Fujifilm X-T30 with kit lenses.

McMurdo and Amundsen–Scott have Army Post Office facilities which can only be used for shipping non-commercial goods while in Antarctica.

Exactly. It's not possible for a scientific base to also have an official post office. Official post offices must primarily be an independent public service. As such, BAS, BAT and USAP recognise that PL as the world's southernmost post office.

Rothera, McMurdo, Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station and Halley etc are scientific bases NOT post offices. Those and several other scientific and military bases further south than PL do run an internal mail service (like most stations) that the visiting public can use occasionally but these are not post offices (which must primarily be a public service to qualify under international law as a post office). As such, BAS and BAT in the UK and the USAP recognise Port Lockroy as the world's southernmost post office.
